Trivia

  • Actor Sundeep Kishan, the lead, underwent intense hockey training for months to perform his own sports sequences authentically.
  • The story is set in Yanam, a former French colony in Puducherry, highlighting a lesser-known regional hockey culture in India.
  • Director Dennis Jeevan Kanukolanu previously worked as an assistant director on major films like 'Baahubali: The Beginning'.
  • The film's climax match was shot in a real stadium with hundreds of local extras to create a grand, authentic atmosphere.

  • The soundtrack was composed by S. Thaman, who is known for high-energy scores, but here incorporated motivational themes for a sports drama.
